Subhashree’s husband, filmmaker and TMC MLA Raj Chakraborty, has since defended his wife. On Sunday, he commented on social media, “Thousands of people who paid a high price for tickets were denied the opportunity to see their hero.” Her ‘crime’ was to share a photo with Messi. Does being an actress preclude her from being a Messi fan?” Raj also questioned the role of the media, pointing out that, despite the fact that numerous journalists were present, Subhashree had received disproportionate attention due to her popular profile.
